Pets of the Week December 3, 2012


He stands just knee high to his roommate but there’s nothing small about Hambone’s pet-stature; his heart alone could fill half our kennels, and his love of life — and YOU — the rest. This 3 year-old Chihuahua/mix BFF was found stray near Frank’s car wash, either trying to help or just enjoying the crowd; he adores kids and lapped up the whip cream on his little girl-partner’s face like a champ at our Dog Walk Kiss-Off. Hambone’s a hit with other dogs too; his playgroup looks up to him but he doesn’t boss them around, and he thinks cats are great, no problem. He’s innately cooperative and enthralled with making you happy; he comes when you call him at a mighty gallop and will settle in your arms like a warm brown baby until you’re ready to put him down. See how many eons of pleasure our little-big Hambone will bring you.


Prepare to be idolized by a black satin cat so replete with quiet affection you’ll ache to hold him closer. Aztec was found stray in Hodges, a dignified 5-year-old statesman who considers his words carefully and then purrs instead; he’s so gentle he’ll knead your open palm without hurting, and so pliable he’ll let you hold him like a baby, proud to call you his very own cradle. Aztec’s a gleaming example of peaceful intelligence, richly giving but not needy; a loyal friend and family member who’ll show your kids how attentive a cat-sidekick can be, and remind you that unconditional love’s absolutely the best kind. Feel the sheen of Aztec’s deep friendship today.

Their purpose is to give sanctuary to abandoned, abused, and neglected animals, provide education to the public on responsible and humane pet ownership, encourage the public to spay and neuter their pets by providing low cost surgery, and encourage adoptions of those animals placed in their care.

Their adoption center is open Monday through Saturday 10:00am to 5:00pm est.
